Photography and retouching by myself.

Retouched with wacom gaphics tablet, cs3 and my beat up old windows laptop.


Still a bit rough around the edges kinda job but I didn't think it was to bad for my first attempted with using water in my work.

Hope you like it.

I would love to see your before shot and some steps on how you achieved this.
I would really appreciate that.
Thanks

Very nice discussion you have here guys! That campaign really amazed me when I saw it and I am always glad to see it around!
BTW I have just ordered few books mentioned above containing Calculations! Hopefully I will learn something from them. BTW Chops book is available on US Amazon for around 50$!!

hey I actually just found this, can you post up the psd again?

Hi,
Not as seasoned as most of you, but is there a link or tutorial out there to explain "calculations" to mask water. Have never heard of the term.

Would appreciate getting "schooled" on it.

Thanks,

Ro

Calculations are not always a "if you have this and want this, do this" kind of tool.
The settings I gave to mask out that water were tailored to that piece in particular and would need to either be tweaked or tossed depending on other images.

Hi Chris

i have a question regarding your masking method of water. how do you apply this method to water shot against a BLACK background (flash freezed)? i had the following problem which i couldn't yet solve:

essentially what happens in your method for water against a white background is that light water areas become transparent. this preserves the important shadow parts in the drops. against a black background, the black areas should become transparent (which can be done with a mask computed using calculations). unfortunately, i end up with a masked water layer which has no shadows in the drops (since black areas got transparent).

can you point me in the right direction? i would like to shoot the water against a black background since that way i can flash-freeze any action.

thanks and best wishes!

p.s. here's a link to an example image showing water against a black background, found it via google:

Hi, I'm new in here, it would be very interesting to follow this topic from the beginning, really a nice topic, and I've learn many things on it. Good job. I never used the calculation before, until I read this, and still learning on it. Thanks for all...

That latest tutorial on page 7 here is nice. Shame the author is too lazy to correct the shadows and highlights cast by the water. But hey, 90% of Photoshoppers are hobbyists and not real artists anyway, so what can ya do.
